Although it would be nice to get the cygwin cvs to work OOTB as a server, is 
there any real reason to fight with it?  The WinCVS/CVSNT combination work just 
fine (I am using that for our webservers now).  I can check out the files using 
cygwin cvs on the local machine using PServer.  I am also using the NTServer
Authentication from within my favorite editor (MultiEdi) with a SCC emulator 
called Jalindi-Igloo.  It is all very slick.

My 2 cents
